Is the Upsilon a Bound State of Exotic Quarks?*
نویسنده
چکیده
To explain the T-T' mass splitting of the recently discovered T resonances, we interpret them as bound states of a quark and an antiquark which are not members of the fundamental (2) representation of color SU(2). A quark in the 8 (or maybe 5) representation is consistent with the data. We discuss some of its properties and the phenomenological consequences that follow from our suggestion. (Submitted to Phys.

Flavor ordering of elliptic flows at high transverse momentum.
Based on the quark coalescence model for the parton-to-hadron phase transition in relativistic heavy ion collisions, we relate the elliptic flow (upsilon(2)) of high p(T) hadrons to that of high p(T) quarks. For high p(T) hadrons produced from an isospin-symmetric and quark-antiquark-symmetric partonic matter, magnitudes of their elliptic flows follow a flavor ordering as (upsilon(2,pi)=upsilon...
متن کاملInsight into the Scalar Mesons from a Lattice Calculation
We study the possibility that the light scalar mesons are q̄q states rather than q̄q. We perform a lattice QCD calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, ignoring quark loops and quark annihilation, and find indications that for sufficiently heavy quarks there is a stable four-quark bound state with J = 0 and non-exotic flavor quantum numbers.
متن کاملThe Hierarchy Problem and an Exotic Bound State
The Multiple Point Principle, according to which there exist many vacuum states with the same energy density, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism. By assuming the existence of three degenerate vacua, we derive the hierarchical ratio between the fundamental (Planck) and electroweak scales in the Standard Model. In one of these phases, 6 top quarks and 6 anti-top quarks bind so strongly by ...

We propose that the recently discovered Θ(1540) baryon is a bound state of four quarks and an antiquark, containing two highly correlated ud-pairs. If so, the Θ(1540) has positive parity, and it lies in an near-ideally mixed SU(3)f 10f ⊕8f . The Roper resonance and the P11(1710) fit naturally into this classification. We predict an isospin 3/2 multiplet of Ξ’s (S = −2) with J = 1 2 + around 175...
متن کاملCharmonium Spectroscopy at BaBar
We discuss the study of charmonium resonances performed at the BaBar experiment. The BaBar experiment [1], which ran between October 1999 and September 2007, is located on the PEP-II asymmetric ring, at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. It recorded 531 fb−1 of data with e+e− collisions, including 433 fb−1 at the Υ(4S) energy. This corresponds to a total amount of 475 × 10 BB pairs produ...
